Trolley Books Double Dactyl
Book SynopsisBritish photographer Nick Waplington combines large format photographs of friends and family, scenes of British streets and seaside, with an added dimension of digital manipulation. Ranging from the almost undetectable, to the surreally fantastic. Double Dactyl accompanied Nick Waplington's solo show at The Whitechapel Gallery, London, December 2007-January 2008. One of Britain's leading contemporary photographers, Waplington first came to public notice with Living Room (1991), a photographic portrait based on the everyday lives of two close-knit families in Nottingham. Since then, often working in book form, he has become known for photographing British social scenery, and his life and close circle of friends and family in East London, where he lives and works. As an artist, Nick Waplington cannot be categorised. His work combines the enigmatic and the everyday, the complex and the straightforward, and the title of his Double Dactyl exhibition embodies these uncomfortable dualities. The word 'dactyl' comes from the Greek dactylos, a word with a mundane literal meaning: finger. In the technical language of poetic theory, however, a dactyl refers to a unit of rhythm that has three syllables, with the emphasis on the first (the long-short-short pattern resembling the joints of a finger). And yet this aesthetic terminology seems less pretentious when we realise that a double dactyl simply describes the rhythm of the artist's name: Nicholas Waplington. If the photographs in Double Dactyl are united by anything, they are united by Waplington's own multiplicity as an artist. His body of work could be described as a journey around the documentary, one that has prodded and played with notions of authenticity, authority and truth that conventionally define the genre. It could also be described as an experiment in doubleness.

Trolley Books Surrounded by No One
Book SynopsisThe theme of Margaret M. De Lange's second book is one of loneliness. It is a personal documentary, which follows people close to her as well as some that she has met only briefly, and the solitude they encounter. As she says: Being lonely is not the same as being alone. The loneliness we experience when surrounded by people is the loneliness we try our hardest to hide. We all have aspects to ourselves that we try not to display. Aspects which are personal and vulnerable. On an unconscious level, I think I look for these sides to myself in the people around me. Those I'm close to, but also strangers I only have fleeting encounters with. It is when I see myself that I take my photographs. These people become my mirrors; my way of showing those parts of me I'm trying to keep hidden. My insecurities, dreams and longings. My happiness and sorrows, victories and downfalls. My loneliness.

She explains their reasons for making it: We wanted to capture visually the character of an historic section of the United States, its beauties and incongruities and all. If visible evidences of the past survived, we wanted to photograph them before bulldozers and derricks moved in.

Clearview I Write to Tell You of a Baby Boy Born Only
Book SynopsisThis is the first ever retrospective of David Eustace, one of the world's leading photographers. This eclectic mix of portraiture, landscape, and social observation has been hotly anticipated by the media and public for years. The title of this book is the first line of the agency's letter to David Eustace's parents, informing them that a baby boy had been born and was available for adoption. It represents the beginning of his journey.Trade ReviewThere is such warmth, serenity and sensitivity in David's images. They possess a timeless quality and an authenticity that is deeply reflective of the man himself. I feel privileged to have had the pleasure of working with David over the years and this gorgeous book brings back many fond memories. It reminds me of the value of great photography and the enduring power of the still image. Tony Chambers. Editor in Chief, Wallpaper Magazine. The photographs are stunning. When we first met I remember being intrigued by him as a man and his past. I felt strongly that he had captured the real me, at a very important time in my career. I've worked with him many times and it's such a pleasure. Ewan McGregor. Actor. David's work is a true reflection of him, curious, warm, garrulous and open. His view of the world is frank, honest and always positive. He is a romantic who interacts with his subjects on equal terms. The richness of his colour and the structure of his black and white work is something many photographers could learn from. Whilst a sense of unhurried patience underlies all his images. There is a lack of artifice which comes from having looked closely at what he photographs that I love. Mike Trow. Picture Editor, British Vogue. David captures the beauty and soul in all his work whether it is portraits or landscapes. He is a genius. Wendy Hinton, Photography Editor. Harrods Magazine. His work is characterised by a classic - or perhaps more precisely, modernist - finely tuned and apparently simple sensitivity to form, through lighting and composition. Beautiful and impeccably crafted, without gimmicks or trickery, his photographs transcend current style and are timeless in their depiction of the human condition. Robin Gillanders, Reader in Photography. Edinburgh Napier University. The thing I like about David's photos are the empty spaces. There's a romantic desolation about them. They're very peaceful. Tracey Emin. Artist. David Eustace is a seismograph - his portraits have a way of exposing what lies beneath the surface. Trevor Lunn. Creative Director. If great photography has the power to emotionally move the viewer then I class David as one of the greats. Enjoy this book and discover for yourselves what truly inspiring photography is all about. Caroline Metcalfe, Director of Photography. Conde Nast Traveller.

Combined with her extraordinary notebooks, scribbles and sketches formulating the stories that each shoot is based on, (in which polaroids are an indispensable part), we are taken into the hidden world of fashion's creative process.

GOST Books Spud
Book SynopsisSPUD, a new book by Brian Griffin, inspired by a residency in Béthune-Bruay in Northern France, marks the centenary of the end of World War I. Last year, Griffin spent three weeks in the French town, near the site of the Battle of the Somme and, also a large McCain potato factory – one of the largest potato production plants in Europe, producing around 1700 tons of frozen chips each day. With the coincidence of `SPUD’, the informal British word for potato also being slang for low ranking British soldiers in World War I, Griffin explores the relationship between the potatoes grown in the soil and the soldiers who were killed in the very same place, over 100 years ago.

GOST Books We Don't Say Goodbye
Book SynopsisMeloni’s original aim was to connect the history of troubled countries with their current events to explore new ways of capturing uprisings against totalitarianism and the after-effects of colonial ventures. ‘My intent was to try, within the limits of visual language, to understand and rationalise a conflict— its roots and evolution—and thus position it within its historical context. The Islamic State’s emergence was a logical development, and I can potentially understand why many young men in Iraq, Syria and Libya decided to join. I asked myself many times: if I had been born Iraqi and my family was killed by US soldiers, what might I have done?’

The resulting photographs, infused with playful fantasy and surrealism, were taken with a large format camera and transformed with solarization. They are accompanied by lines from Brecht’s poem: Questions from a Worker Who Reads (1935). These photographs record and document a labour in progress, yet the construction workers have exited and the building is built as if by magic.

GOST Books Daleside: Static Dreams
Book SynopsisDaleside, in the Gauteng Province, once had a predominantly white population and is isolated in the industrial outer suburbs of Johannesburg. Its separation has resulted in Daleside’s residents becoming increasingly inward-facing, and in the space of a decade it has become an isolated ghost town with a dwindling population consisting of mostly mine workers and smallholders. Commissioned by Rubis Mécénat through their Of Soul and Joy programme, the resulting photographs provide a counterpoint—Clément-Delmas’s images show dignified figures whose dreams are at odds with reality whereas Sobekwa’s landscape portraits show no such escapism. Looking beyond the deep-seated Black/white binary, they depict the poverty afflicting Black and white residents alike as forgotten members of society stuck in a dead end. Contrary to his expectations of what he might find there, Sobekwa came face to face with the reality of Black and white residents experiencing the same poverty out of eyeshot of the tightly-guarded houses of the wealthy. In Daleside: Static Dreams, the images by each photographer are presented alongside each other in a foldout book so they can be read individually or as pairs.

GOST Books Mischling 1
Book SynopsisSara Davidmann’s father was never able to talk about his experiences growing up in Nazi Berlin, the traumatic events that occurred before he left, the family members who were murdered, or his evacuation. These experiences formed a space in his life that was too painful to revisit, and Davidmann grew up knowing very little about this side of her family history. From her father, she inherited an aversion to everything connected with the Holocaust. Through piecing together fragments from family albums and in-depth research through archives and archival materials, and reworking imagery through her own processes, Davidmann re-tells the story of a family history nearly extinquished.

GOST Books Leave and Let Us Go
Book Synopsis‘I became acutely aware that what a foreigner is able to capture through an image does not always embody the lived reality of locals. Several days into an embed with Iraqi Special Forces, a way of bridging that divide became evident when a soldier shared the pictures on his phone with me: his wife, his children, the people he had killed, his university graduation day, his wedding. Similar interactions like this happened so often during my time there, I began asking to download these images in order to create an archive of the personal accounts of people who wanted their stories witnessed, not just represented. In total I have collected roughly 350,000 images and videos from over fifty different people across the country. I also began to scan the family photo albums of many of the people I met to create a multi-generational view of Iraq, dating as far back as the 1920s. These photos were supplemented with interviews, found objects, newspaper and magazine clippings, along with images recovered from found cell phones of suspected ISIS militants and those who lived under their rule.'
